I do not know if this has been covered in Templot.
I have not seen it in any UK prototype but have seen Continental HO model versions - this one ROCO.

There is a common running rail with splayed ends going right down the middle of the double slip.

Is there a real prototype of this formation, or is it just a "manufacturers convenience"?

Hi Roger,

It's a double outside-slip of the German Baeseler pattern:

Quite common on the continent but not used (as far as I know) in the UK. The outside-slip design allows for a shorter crossing angle at the same radius, for cramped station throats. Or an easier radius for higher speed in running lines.

Can be done in Templot with a bit of fiddling about, but not easy to build.

cheers,

Martin.

Tillig do both HO and 12mm versions.

I was asking if any individual model maker had constructed one.

Sorry my smiley face didn't show up well...

Is it Brian Harrap who makes all sorts of track? I think he's made one. I've certainly seen a couple at European exhibitions.
